Shed unveils third LP, The Killer

50 Weapons will release the German techno artist's next album in July.

Details have been revealed for the next album by Rene Pawlowitz, AKA Shed, entitled The Killer.

Pawolowitz is a man of many monikers—Wax, EQD, The Panamax Project and most recently The Traveller—but Shed is usually a channel for his most stylistically open-ended productions, as seen on his past albums Shedding the Past and The Traveller. Due out in July on Modeselektor's 50 Weapons, the album will be Pawlowitz's first full-length on a label other than Ostgut Ton, the Berghain-associated imprint that's been his most consistent home to date. It comes hot on the heels of his recent 12-inch for 50 Weapons, The Praetorian / RQ-170, and includes an album mix of the A-side from that record. All of the other tracks are previously unreleased.

As allways enough deep massive beat bass from Shed. Great allbum, what to say.But expect more go in way at sound like RQ-170.May be alt-ego ''The Killer'' look in that way....So we wait withe conciliative song ''follow the leader'' to see wats happen to

I absolutely agree.This is an inspired, impeccably produced album. While we may squabble over whether Shed is or isn't covering brand new ground, or about which of his albums (or monikers) works best, all of his releases have displayed an artistry unmatched in contemporary techno. I particularly appreciate the way he throws seemingly disparate elements together with harmonious results, the overall restlessness of his sound and the way that all the albums seem to somehow reference each other. This is aural heaven!
